Afternoon Setting for Two

A couple of weeks ago we were graced with some winter snow (which has been MIA for the most part this winter). It was bitter cold outside, so the Mr. and I decided to curl up on the sofa for an afternoon of movies; reading and just relaxing.

We brought out the breakfast tray to ensemble our afternoon treats. Since it's the month of Romance (though who needs to wait for February to enjoy a little Romance); 

we topped the breakfast tray with heart shaped place mats; 

the tableware pieces, have French romantic sayings which was perfect...

I had some left over XO pieces from the cards we did for our God children, so a little sprinkling of XOs

Originally we were going to make some hot chocolate and decided to use the made in Japan chocolat chaud set. There's a romantic scene of a couple with a musician playing in the background. The petite chocolate cups also have the trio on one side and the back is lovely gold detail.

The back of the cup was hard to capture ... but it looks the same as the teapot. Imagine back when chocolat chaud was served in such hand painted lovelies.

Instead of sweets ... we decided on some fresh figs, cheeries and rye toast topped with butter and rose jam.

Can you see the snow through the french doors?

Chocolat chaud just didn't seem quite right with these delights....

Tea was made ... and instead of replacing the lovely chocolate set ..we drank from the petite cups.

Is it snowy where you live or do you have wonderful sunshine and warm weather?
